A ninth year of free Northwest programming begins in August
through Temple Emanu-El.

For eight years, the temple has provided Jewish classes,
Shabbat, holidays, and family events in Northwest Tucson. Its motto
is "If you're in the Northwest, we're bringing Judaism to you."

Free Taste of Judaism classes are planned at Nanini Library,
7300 N. Shannon, on three Mondays, Aug. 17, 24 and 31, from 6 to 8
p.m. A monthly Shabbat dinner and service is held at the Westward
Look Resort, 245 E. Ina, this Friday, Aug. 14 at 6 p.m.

It is open to all, Jews and non-Jews. There are no fees but
pre-registration is required because space is limited. Call Mila at
327-4501, extension 27.

Because there is no regular synagogue in the Northwest, a
monthly Shabbat dinner and service are held at the Westward Look
Resort. After a kosher Shabbat dinner, Rabbi Benjamin Sharff and
Northwest Cantorial soloist Lori Sumberg lead a Sabbath evening
service, followed by dessert and more conversation.

In September, a pre-Rosh Hashanah Shabbat with honey cake for a
sweet new year is planned.
